    Expenditures of $12,000 and a $12,000 prepaid asset

    Explanation:

    Since only half of the policy has been consumed (or accrued), then half of the premium must debited to expenditures, which is similar to debiting insurance expenses on a private company. Since half of the prepaid insurance asset has been used during this year, the account must be reduced by crediting it (same as recording for a private business).
